I've never heard of Maximas blowing gears... they're too damn slow

cmng

sorry..
i try to search but could not found it
since i plan to get a maxima and turbocharged it,
i wonder whether it can stand like 400-500hp only
and prolly the car i get is auto so need to know how much the manual tranny conversion will cost me

2k2-blk-6spd

Why not just wait for the 5/6 speed which reminds me, what year are you looking at getting?

There are a few turbocharged maximas on here but not many 2k2/2k3 ones because you have to custom build it.

As far as tranny strength I can't help you but I know that they're built pretty tough, at least the 5 speeds are, the 6 speeds have yet to show what they can handle.

Good luck finding the right car and the right price.

no idea yet which year i going to take
emm
conversatively can i expect the maxima 5pd tranny can handle 450-500 hp without problem ?

How about you worry about actually being able to get 450-500hp first. Considering you don't even have a maxima.

And getting an auto first, the converting is when you can buy a manual from the get go.

If your getting a 4th gen I recomend getting a bare bones GXE. The 4th gen trannies aren't very strong. Run the stocker for a while and then swap to the '01 AE VLSD unit if it blows. If it blows a gear it will most likely be 3rd. It is the weakest apparently.

If you getting a 5th gen get the 01 AE or 3.5 6Spds. I have no idea about the reliability of the 6Spds.

Whoa you are from my city - weird

Anyways you can blow a transmission at any power level, I blew 3rd gear in my friend's bolt on maxima once which only had like 200hp, my sister blew a transmission in her civic which has like 100hp. If you have the ability to extract 400-500hp from this engine, it stands to reason you could also take the relatively cheap steps it would require to strengthen the transmission. I currently have a maxima with between 400 and 500hp and a stock transmission, but who knows how long that transmission will last? That is why I am taking steps to rebuild and strengthen my transmission. Cyrogenic treatment, shotpeening, polishing and deburring are the steps often taken, and are what I am going to be doing as soon as I have another transmission in my posession.

Do not buy an automatic and convert it to 5speed. The time and money you waste doing that would just be money and time you could spend on modifying the car, rather than swapping in a transmission which you could have just gotten stock. It's a total waste of energy.
